Failed connections 7.6 to 5.2

[CLOSE Dave]

Trying to connect to a Dell iDRAC 6. The iDRAC reports it is running
OpenSSH 5.2.

From Fedora Linux 20 with OpenSSH 6.4p1, connections succeed.

From Fedora Linux 23 with OpenSSH 7.2p2, connections succeed.

From Fedora Linux 27 with OpenSSH 7.6p1, connections fail prior to
prompting for a password. The message is, "Received disconnect from (IP
address) port 22:11: Logged out." Trying with "ssh -vvv" produces output
as shown below.

There must be a setting to accommodate this situation. I have no way to
upgrade the iDRAC nor to run with -ddd on it.

-vvv output:
